In my opinion all German cars require you to be Johnny-on-the-spot with maintenance where the Japanese and American cars have more of a relaxed, oh you missed doing that, that sucks, but I'll still run mentality. Which is perfect for people who don't really like driving and dislike cars in general.

I know people here might think I'm crazy for saying this, but a GM product is perfect for a first car. Stuff is cheap, it runs no matter what and they don't require the maintenance to be on the time all the time like a BMW or other German car.
